Technical Field

The embodiment of the application relates to the technical field of terminals, in particular to a service card distribution method, a service card distribution system and electronic equipment.

Background

The service card is a display form of an application in the electronic equipment, and important information of the application (application) is displayed on a desktop in the form of the service card, so that a user can conveniently preview the service information. Such as flight, meeting, or weather, etc. The user can also quickly view these service information without entering the application. The service card can also bear operation related to the application, and a user can realize service through light interactive behavior on the service card, so that level jumping is reduced.

Currently, there are two main ways for distributing service cards by electronic devices: one is to expand a card by responding to a swipe operation performed by a user on an icon of an application on a desktop, and then the electronic device can add a service card to the desktop based on the operation of the user pressing the card for a long time; another is a card that is found for the user in the service market of the electronic device, which can be added to the desktop by the electronic device. The existing two service card distribution modes are complex in operation and low in distribution efficiency.

Disclosure of Invention

The service card distribution method, the service card distribution system and the electronic equipment can improve the distribution efficiency of the service card.

A first aspect of an embodiment of the present application provides a service card distribution method, including:

the first electronic equipment displays a first interface of an application market, wherein the first interface at least comprises a first application and a first control of the first application;

responding to the operation of the first control, the first electronic equipment displays a second control of the first application on the first interface, wherein the second control is a control for adding a service card of the first application;

in response to operation of the second control, the first electronic device adds the service card to the desktop.

It should be appreciated that the first interface may be an interface in the application marketplace where the first application is installed or updated. When the first application is installed or updated, the first electronic device can display a control for adding the service card of the first application to the user, and the user decides whether to add the service card of the application to the desktop. In the embodiment of the application, the first electronic device may actively prompt the user to add the service card of the first application to the desktop when the first application is installed or updated. Compared with the prior art, the method has the advantages that the service cards can be added based on multiple operations of the user only after the application is installed, the difficulty of searching the service cards by the user is reduced, the service cards of the application can be displayed to the user in time, and the distribution efficiency of the service cards is improved.

It should be appreciated that the first control may be an application installation control or an application update control. Therefore, when the first electronic device installs or updates the first application, the service card of the first application can be added to the desktop based on the operation of the user, so that the distribution efficiency of the service card is improved, and the difficulty of adding the service card is reduced.

In one example, the first interface may be a detail page interface of an application marketplace, and the at least one second application may be further included in the detail page interface of the application marketplace. In another example, the first interface may be a detail page interface of a first application in the application marketplace. In this way, the first electronic device may perform an operation of adding the service card of the first application to the desktop at any interface where the first application can be installed or updated.

In a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the first interface may further include a service card prompt identifier of the first application, where the service card prompt identifier may be used to prompt the first application to have a distributable service card. By adding the service card prompt identifier, a user can conveniently identify which applications have the service card which can be added, so that the user can quickly find the high-quality service card, and the exposure rate of the service card is increased.

In one example, an underline may be added at the bottom of an icon of a first application with an addable service card, which may be added to the desktop when the user is prompted to install or update the application. In another example, a textual identification may also be added at a location of an icon of a first application having an addable service card. For example, adding a "card" typeface in the upper right hand corner of the icon of the first application intuitively prompts the user that the application has an addable service card.

In a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the first electronic device may display the second control in the form of a frame. For example, in response to a click operation of the user on the first control, the first electronic device may display a first frame in the first interface, and the first frame may include a second control of the first application therein. In one example, the first bezel may be a half-mode bezel that the first electronic device ejects at the first interface. Thus, in response to an operation for the first control, the first electronic device displays a second control of the first application at the first interface, which may specifically include: the first electronic device displays a first bullet frame on the first interface, wherein the first bullet frame comprises a second control of the first application.

It should be understood that the first frame may be a frame for adding a service card displayed on the first interface, or may be a frame for introducing content related to the service card.

In one possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the first box may be a box for adding a service card, and the user clicking on the second control in the first box may indicate that the first electronic device is agreed to add the service card of the first application to the desktop.

It should be appreciated that the first electronic device may also first introduce the relevant content of the service card to the user when the user first uses the service card. In one example, the first electronic device may also introduce related content to the user who first uses the service card by means of a box.

Thus, in one possible implementation manner of the first aspect, in response to an operation for the first control, the first electronic device displays a first frame on the first interface, may include: responding to the operation of the first control, the first electronic equipment displays a second bullet frame on the first interface, wherein the second bullet frame comprises service card introduction information and a third control; in response to operation of the third control, the first electronic device displays a first frame on the first interface.

In one example, the second frame may be a frame containing service card introduction information that may be used to introduce relevant content of the service card to a user who first uses the service card and a third control that may be a control for indicating consent to use the service card or consent to further knowledge of the relevant content. After the user clicks the third control, it is indicated that the user agrees to further understand the relevant content. At this time, the first electronic device may pop up the first frame at the first interface.

In one example, the first box may be a box that introduces or prompts the addition of a service card for a particular application, e.g., a box that prompts the addition of a service card for the first application. The second frame may be a frame that introduces the service card as a whole.

In a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, if the user does not agree to use the service card, the user may operate in the first frame or the second frame displayed by the first electronic device, and reject the first electronic device to add the service card of the first application to the desktop.

In one example, the first and second frames may each include a frame closing prompt identifier, where the frame closing prompt identifier may be used to prompt the user to close the first frame or the second frame, so as to feed back, to the first electronic device, information that the service card is refused to be added.

In one possible implementation, the box closing prompt identifier may include a text identifier, a graphic identifier, and the like. When the user is prompted by various identifications, the user can be prompted to close the first frame or the second frame by adopting the first gesture.

In one example, the first gesture may be a slide-down gesture in the first or second bezel. Thus, the user can slide downwards in the first elastic frame or the second elastic frame, and the elastic frame can be closed quickly.

It should be understood that the first gesture may be not only a gesture of sliding down in the first frame or the second frame, but also a gesture of sliding left and right in the first frame or the second frame.

In a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, before the first electronic device adds the service card to the desktop in response to the operation for the second control, the method may further include: the first electronic device reserves a first area for displaying icons of the first application and a second area for displaying the service card on the desktop.

It should be appreciated that the first and second regions may be footprints of the first application and its service cards. In the process of downloading the installation package of the first application and the service card thereof, the first electronic device can occupy the space of the first application and the service card in advance on the desktop, so that after the installation of the first application and the service card is completed, the icon of the first application can be added to the first area, and the service card of the first application can be added to the second area.

In one possible implementation manner of the first aspect, in response to an operation for the second control, the first electronic device adds the served card to the desktop, and may specifically include: in response to an operation for the second control, the first electronic device downloads an installation package including an installation package of the first application and an installation package of the service card; the first electronic equipment installs a first application by adopting an installation package of the first application and installs a service card by adopting an installation package of the service card; the first electronic device adds the icon of the installed first application to a first area of the desktop and adds the installed service card to a second area of the desktop.

In one example, the installation package of the first application and the installation package of the service card of the first application may be integrated together. Thus, the first electronic device can download the installation package of the first application and the installation package of the service card to the local at the same time when downloading the installation package.

In another example, the installation package of the first application and the installation package of the service card of the first application may not be integrated together. In this way, the first electronic device may download only the installation package of the first application from the server when installing or updating the first application. In the process that the first electronic device downloads the installation package of the first application or installs the first application by adopting the installation package of the first application, if an instruction that a user agrees to install the service card of the first application is received, the first electronic device can download the installation package of the service card from the server. In this way, the download amount may be reduced when the user refuses to add the service card to the desktop.

In a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the first electronic device may further prompt the user to add a service card of the first application after completing the silent upgrade of the first application. In the process, the first electronic device can display a first notification, wherein the first notification can comprise the adding prompt information of the service card; in response to an operation for the first notification, the first electronic device may jump to the application marketplace; the first electronic device displays a detail page interface of the first application in the application market; the first electronic device displays a first bullet frame on the detail page interface, wherein the first bullet frame comprises a second control of the first application.

In one example, the first electronic device may notify that the new version of the first application is installed by way of a banner that may include the add-on prompt for the service card. The user may click on the banner and the first electronic device may jump to the details page interface of the first application in the application marketplace. In the detail page interface, the first electronic device can pop up the first popup frame, and the user can agree to the first electronic device to add the service card of the first application to the desktop by clicking the second application in the first popup frame.

It should be appreciated that the first electronic device may also automatically add service cards for applications based on user settings.

In one example, the user may select an automatic add or prompt for an add by setting an add mode of the service card in the first electronic device.

In a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the first electronic device may display a setting interface, where the setting interface includes a service card adding setting item; in response to an operation for adding the setting item to the service card, the first electronic device displays a service card setting detail page interface, wherein the service card setting detail page interface comprises the service card adding setting item and the service card closing setting item. The user may cause the first electronic device to add a service card or close the addition of a service card by setting a service card addition setting item or a service card closing setting item.

In one example, the service card addition settings may include a first service card addition setting, which may be an intelligent addition setting. If the first service card adding setting item is set, the first electronic device may automatically add the service card of the first application to the desktop after installing or updating the first application.

In a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, in a case where the first service card addition setting item is set, after the first application is installed or updated, the first electronic device may display a modeless popup in an interface where the first application is installed or updated, where the modeless popup may be used to prompt a user that a service card of the first application has been added to the desktop.

In another example, the service card addition settings may also include a second service card addition setting, which may be a reminder addition setting. If the second service card adding setting item is set, the first electronic device may display prompt information for adding the service card of the first application to the desktop when installing or updating the first application, and the user performs an operation based on the prompt information to determine whether to add the service card to the desktop.

In a possible implementation manner of the first aspect, after the first electronic device adds the service card of the first application to the desktop, the service card may be further distributed to the second electronic device. In this way, the user may use the service card at the second electronic device as well. For example, after the service card of the first application is added to the mobile phone terminal, the mobile phone may distribute the service card to the smart watch, the large screen device, and the like. In this way, the user may use the service card of the first application in the smart watch, the large screen device.

It will be appreciated that the first electronic device needs to determine which devices the associated second electronic device includes before distributing the service card to the second electronic device, and that the first electronic device may also determine whether the service card currently to be distributed is compatible with the second electronic device. The first electronic device may distribute the service card only to the second electronic device that is able to adapt the service card. For example, some service cards added at the handset end may be adapted to large screen devices, while not adapting to smart watches. Thus, in the case where both the large screen device and the smart watch are associated with a mobile phone, the mobile phone may only distribute the currently added service card to the large screen device without distributing the service card to the smart watch.

In general, the application markets in different electronic devices, and the presentation information of the respective applications shown may be different in the application market detail page as shown in the interface 31.

In one example, the user may learn specific information for each application through an application details page. As shown in fig. 3 (c), which is a schematic illustration of one interface 32 of the electronic device, the interface 32 may be a detail page of a particular one of the applications, such as the detail page of the "theme" application 302. The user may enter the interface 32 shown in fig. 3 (c) by clicking on the icon of the "theme" application 302 on the interface 31 in fig. 3 (b). The application details page shown in the interface 32 includes detailed description information of the application, such as application score, number of scores, number of downloads, and the like. In the application details page shown in interface 32, corresponding operational controls, such as control 3022, are also included. Control 3022 is an installation control that functions identically to control 3021 in interface 32, and represents that after a user clicks on the control, the electronic device may complete the installation of the application through the application marketplace.

Generally, the difference between the detail page interface of the application market, such as the interface 31 in (b) of fig. 3, and the detail page interface of an application in the application market, such as the interface 32 in (c) of fig. 3, is that a plurality of applications are often included in the detail page interface of the application market, and a user can install a plurality of applications in the detail page interface of the application market. For example, in the interface 31 in (b) in fig. 3, the user can complete the installation of 4 applications such as "theme", "QQ", "micro message" and "micro blog" by clicking the corresponding controls. And in the details page of a certain application of the application market, is typically used for installing a single application. For example, in interface 32 in fig. 3 (c), the user may complete the installation of the "theme" application 302 by clicking on the corresponding control 3022.

In one example, the application marketplace may also provide update functionality for applications. For an application installed in an electronic device, when a new version of the application exists, the electronic device may provide corresponding controls in the application marketplace for a user to manually update the application. As shown in fig. 3 (d), is a schematic diagram of an interface 33 of the application market of the electronic device, which may be an application market detail page similar to the interface 31. If the user installs the "theme" application 302 in the electronic device via the interface 31, when the "theme" application 302 has a new version, an interface, such as the interface 33, may be displayed in the application marketplace, and the control next to the "theme" application 302 is the "update" control 3024. The user may click on control 3024 in interface 33 to complete the update of the "theme" application 302.

In the embodiment of the application, the electronic device can add a service card prompt identifier to the application with the service card in the application market, and the service card prompt identifier is used for prompting the user that the application has the service card capable of being added to the desktop. Illustratively, as shown in (b), (c) and (d) in fig. 3, if the "theme" application 302 has a service card that can be added to the desktop in the interface 31, the interface 32 and the interface 33, the electronic device may add a hint identifier in the corresponding location. For example, an underline 3023 is added at the bottom of the icon for the "theme" application 302; alternatively, the electronic device may add a logo in the upper right hand corner of the icon of the application to indicate that the application has an addable service card.

In the embodiment of the application, when an application is installed or updated, the electronic device may add a service card of the application to the desktop.

Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a service card distribution process according to an embodiment of the present application. Wherein fig. 4 shows a process of distributing service cards of an application when the application market detail page installs the application. As shown in fig. 4 (a), an interface of a detail page of the application market is shown, and the interface shown in fig. 4 (a) is the interface 31 in fig. 3 (b). In this interface 31, the "theme" application 302 has a service card hint identification. Such as an underline 3023 in interface 31 below the icon of the "subject" application 302, which indicates that the application has an addable service card. The user may click on control 3021 shown in fig. 4 (a), installing the "theme" application 302. After the user clicks on control 3021, the area in which control 3021 is located will display the progress of the installation of the "theme" application 302 in real-time. As shown in fig. 4 (b), the "subject" application 302 is currently installed at 48%.

In one example, if the user has not previously used the service card in the current electronic device, the electronic device may pop up a frame 41 in the interface 31 as shown in fig. 4 (b), and the frame 41 may be used to introduce information about the service card. For example, in the bullet frame 41 in fig. 4 (b), information such as "welcome service card" may be displayed. As shown in fig. 4 (b), the frame 41 includes a frame closing prompt identifier 4101 for prompting the user how to close the frame 41 if the user does not need to add the service card to the desktop.

In one example, the user may close the bezel 41 by gesture operations in the bezel 41. Illustratively, as shown in (c) of fig. 4, the user may close the bezel 41 by a gesture of sliding down in the bezel 41. In one possible implementation, the user may close the bezel 41 by a downward sliding gesture at any location in the bezel 41. After closing the bezel 41, the electronic device may only install the application without adding a service card of the application to the desktop. After the bezel 41 is closed, the electronic device may install only the application without installing a service card of the application. After the application installation is completed, the interface 31 may be as shown in (h) of fig. 4. The interface 31 in (h) of fig. 4 differs from the interface 31 in (a) of fig. 4 in that after the "theme" application 302 has been installed, the control 3021 next to the "theme" application 302 is updated from "installed" to "open", meaning that the user can open the "theme" application 302 described above by clicking on the control 3021 in (h) of fig. 4.

In addition, a control 4102 is included in the bullet box 41, and the control 4102 can be used to prompt the user how to add the service card to the desktop. If the user clicks control 4102 in frame 41, the electronic device can pop up another frame in interface 31 for introducing information about the service card of the currently installed "subject" application 302. As shown in fig. 4 (d), a schematic diagram of the electronic device ejecting the frame 42 in the interface 31, where the frame 42 includes the introduction of the service card of the "theme" application 302, such as the information of "new image" in the frame 42. As shown in fig. 4 (e), a schematic view of the electronic device ejecting the frame 43 in the interface 31 is shown. Similar to the bullet box 42, the bullet box 43 may also be used to introduce information about the service cards of the currently installed "subject" application 302. The bullet frame 43 further includes interaction information between the electronic device and the user, for example: whether to add a "theme" service card to the desktop. By adding the interaction information, the action of the current bullet frame can be clarified, and the user is guided to finish subsequent operations.

Similar to the box 41, the box 42 and the box 43 each include a box closing prompt identifier for prompting the user how to close the box if the user does not need to add the service card of the "theme" application 302 to the desktop. For example, the identifier 4201 in (d) of fig. 4 and the identifier 4301 in (e) of fig. 4.

In one example, the user may close the bezel 42 in the bezel 42 by gesture operations. Illustratively, as shown in (f) of fig. 4, the user may close the bezel 42 by a downward sliding gesture in the bezel 42. In one possible implementation, the user may close the bezel 42 by a downward sliding gesture at any location in the bezel 42. Similarly, the user can also close the box 43 by a gesture operation in the box 43. As shown in fig. 4 (g), the user can close the box 43 by a gesture of sliding down in the box 43. After closing the box 42 or 43, the electronic device may only install the application without adding the service card of the "theme" application 302 to the desktop. After the box 42 or 43 is closed and the installation of the "theme" application 302 is completed, the interface displayed by the electronic device may be as shown in (h) of fig. 4.

In some implementations, the frame 41, the frame 42, and the frame 43 may also use a closing button to prompt the user how to close the current frame.

If the user refuses to add the service card to the desktop through gesture operation in the frame 41 shown in (b) or (c) in fig. 4, or the frame 42 shown in (d) or (f) in fig. 4, or the frame 43 shown in (e) or (g) in fig. 4, the electronic device may generate an application occupation area only on the desktop in the application installation process. As shown in fig. 4 (i), a schematic diagram of a desktop of the electronic device during installation of only the "theme" application 302 includes only a placeholder 401, where the placeholder 401 may be used to place an icon of the application after the application is installed. As shown in fig. 4 (j), a schematic diagram of a desktop on which icons of installed "subject" applications 302 are placed is shown at the position of the occupied area 401 shown in fig. 4 (i).

As shown in fig. 4 (d) and (e), the frame 42 further includes a control 4202, and the frame 43 further includes a control 4302, and the controls 4202 and 4302 may be used to prompt the user to add the service card of the "theme" application 302 to the desktop by clicking on the controls. If the user clicks control 4202 in box 42 or clicks control 4302 in box 43, the electronic device may add the service card of the "subject" application 302 to the desktop while the application is installed. In one example, if the user clicks on control 4202, the electronic device may download, install the current application and service card in the background. At this time, the interface of the electronic device may display the installation progress of the "theme" application 302 in real time in the area where the control 3021 is located, as shown in (a) of fig. 4.

In the downloading process of the application and service card, the electronic equipment can occupy the place of the application and service card on the desktop. As in (k) of fig. 4, a schematic diagram of the footprint of the desktop of the electronic device during the application download process is shown. In this illustration, the desktop of the electronic device includes two footprints, namely footprints 401 and 402. The occupation area 401 is the occupation area of the "theme" application 302, and after the "theme" application 302 is installed, an application icon of the "theme" application 302 is displayed at the occupation area 401; the footprint 402 is the footprint of the service card of the "theme" application 302, and after the installation of the service card of the "theme" application 302 is completed, the service card will be displayed at the footprint 402.

As shown in fig. 4 (l), a desktop diagram is shown after the application and service card is installed, and the diagram includes an icon of the "theme" application 302 and the service card 302'.

In one possible implementation, after the user clicks on the control 4202 in the box 42 or the control 4302 in the box 43, triggering the electronic device to add a service card to the desktop, if the user does not do other operations on the electronic device, the electronic device may only display the interface as shown in fig. 4 (a) and not show the placeholder diagram as shown in fig. 4 (k) to the user. During application installation, if the user exits the application marketplace to the desktop by operation, the electronic device may present an interface as shown in (k) of fig. 4.

After the user clicks the control 4202 in the box 42 or the control 4302 in the box 43 to trigger the electronic device to add the service card to the desktop, if the user stays in the application market, after the application and the service card are installed, the application market details page may be as shown in (h) in fig. 4. At this point, the area in which control 3021 is located will be displayed as "open," meaning that the user can open the "subject" application 302 by clicking on control 3021.

In one possible implementation, the service card of the electronic device distributing the application may also be implemented when the application is installed on a detail page of the application. That is, the user can install the application in the interface 33 as shown in (c) in fig. 3. Illustratively, the user may click on control 3022 in fig. 3 (c) to install the "theme" application 302. The process of distributing the service cards of the application by the electronic device is then similar to the process of (b) to (l) in fig. 4, with the difference that the interaction process between the electronic device and the user through the frame is then completed in the interface 32, whereas in the process shown in fig. 4, the interaction process between the electronic device and the user is completed in the interface 31.

In some examples, the electronic device may not display the introduction information of the service card as shown in (c) and (d) of fig. 4. That is, after the user clicks the "install" control 3021 in fig. 4 (a), the electronic device may directly pop up the box 42 shown in fig. 4 (d) or the box 43 shown in fig. 4 (e) in the interface 31.

In connection with fig. 4, the electronic device adding a service card of an application to a desktop during installation of the application may include several ways:

mode 1:

the user clicks the mount control 3021 in the interface 31 shown in fig. 4 (a), and the electronic apparatus pops up the bezel 41 in the interface 31 as shown in fig. 4 (b). The user clicks the "immediate experience" control 4102 in the box 41, the electronic device pops up the box 42 (as shown in (d) of fig. 4) or the box 43 ((as shown in (e) of fig. 4) in the interface 31. The user clicks the "add to desktop" control 4202 in the box 42 or the "add to desktop" control 4302 in the box 43. The electronic device takes up place on the application and service card (as shown in (k) of fig. 4) in the application and service card installation process, if the user does not operate the electronic device to exit the application market, after the application and service card installation is completed, the electronic device displays the interface shown in (h) of fig. 4. The desktop with the application and service card added is shown in (l) of fig. 4.

In mode 1, in the process of adding a service card, the interface displayed by the electronic device may sequentially include the following interfaces as in fig. 4:

first kind: (a) - (b) - (d) - (h) - (l);

Second kind: (a) - (b) - (d) - (k) - (l);

third kind: (a) - (b) - (e) - (h) - (l);

fourth kind: (a) - (b) - (e) - (k) - (l).

Mode 2:

the user clicks the install control 3021 in the interface 31 shown in fig. 4 (a), the electronic device pops up the bezel 42 in the interface 31 (as shown in fig. 4 (d)) or the bezel 43 ((as shown in fig. 4 (e)), the user clicks the "add to desktop" control 4202 in the bezel 42, or the "add to desktop" control 4302 in the bezel 43, the electronic device takes up space for the application and service card in the desktop (as shown in fig. 4 (k)), during the application and service card installation process, if the user does not operate the electronic device to exit the application market, after the application and service card installation is completed, the electronic device displays the interface shown in fig. 4 (h).

In mode 2, in the process of adding a service card, the interface displayed by the electronic device may sequentially include the following interfaces as shown in fig. 4:

first kind: (a) - (d) - (h) - (l);

second kind: (a) - (d) - (k) - (l);

third kind: (a) - (e) - (h) - (l);

fourth kind: (a) - (e) - (k) - (l).

In one possible implementation manner of the embodiment of the application, the electronic device may further add a service card of an application to the desktop when the application is statically upgraded.

Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of another service card distribution process according to an embodiment of the present application. FIG. 5 is a diagram of an application installed in an electronic device, and the electronic device adds a service card of the application to a desktop after the application automatically completes an update or upgrade.

When the electronic device completes the update of an application, the user may be prompted by a notification that the application has completed the update. If the application has an addable service card, the prompt in the notification may include information prompting the user to add the service card. As shown in fig. 5 (a), after the "theme" application is updated, the electronic device may prompt the user through a banner (banner) 501, and the prompt information in the banner 501 may include the following: the latest version of the theme is updated, the desktop service card is added to the new version, and the bar is added quickly. If the user does not wish to add a service card for the "subject" application, the notification may be ignored or otherwise cleared by operation.

If the user wishes to add a service card or wishes to learn further about a service card, he can jump to the details page of the application in the application marketplace by clicking on the banner 501. As shown in fig. 5 (b), a detail page interface of the "theme" application in the application marketplace is shown, which may be the detail page interface 32 shown in fig. 3 (c). In the interface 32, the electronic device may pop up a pop-up box 51 for introducing information about the service card. For example, in the bullet box 51 in fig. 5 (b), information such as "welcome service card" may be displayed.

As shown in fig. 5 (b), the bullet box 51 includes a bullet box closing prompt identifier 5101 for prompting the user how to close the bullet box 51 if the user does not need to add the service card to the desktop. In one example, as shown in (c) of fig. 5, the user may close the bezel 51 by a gesture operation in the bezel 51. The process of closing the box 51 by a user through a gesture is similar to that of closing the box 41 in fig. 4 (c) by a gesture, and will not be described again.

In addition, a control 5102 is included in the bullet box 51, and the control 5102 may be used to prompt the user how to add the service card to the desktop. If the user clicks the control 5102 in the box 51, the electronic device may pop up another box in the interface 32 for introducing information about the service card of the currently installed "subject" application 302. For example, a bullet frame 52 as shown in (d) of fig. 5, or a bullet frame 53 as shown in (e) of fig. 5. The bullet box 52 and bullet box 53 may include therein introductions of service cards for the "theme" application 302.

Since the box 52 shown in (d) of fig. 5 is similar to the box 42 shown in (d) of fig. 4, the box 53 shown in (e) of fig. 5 is similar to the box 43 shown in (e) of fig. 4, and the user operates in the box 52 shown in (f) of fig. 5 to close the box 52 to reject the add service card or to add the service card to the desktop, and operates in the box 53 shown in (g) of fig. 5 to close the box 53 to reject the add service card or to add the service card to the desktop, the description of the foregoing embodiments will be omitted.

If the user selects to add the service card, the electronic device may first occupy a space for the service card on the desktop during the process of adding the service card. As shown in (h) of fig. 5, a schematic diagram of desktop occupation is shown when a service card of an application is added by prompting a user after a static upgrade of the application. That is, the occupied area 402 in (h) in fig. 5 is the occupied area of the service card, and after the service card is added, the desktop of the electronic device may be as shown in (l) in fig. 4.

In some examples, the electronic device may not display the introduction information of the service card as shown in (b) and (c) in fig. 5. That is, after the user clicks on the notification banner 501 in fig. 5 (a), the electronic device may jump to the details page interface 32 of the application marketplace "theme" application 302 and pop up the box 52 in the interface 33 as shown in fig. 5 (d) or the box 53 as shown in fig. 5 (e).

In one possible implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device installs or updates the application, the user may be prompted in a manner shown in fig. 4 or fig. 5, and whether to add the service card to the desktop is determined based on the operation of the user.

In another possible implementation manner of the embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device installs or updates the application, the service card of the currently installed or updated application may also be automatically added to the desktop based on the installation manner preset by the user. For example, if the user clicks on control 3021 in fig. 4 (a) to install the "theme" application 302, the electronic device may not display the respective interfaces as shown in fig. 4 (b) to (g), but automatically add the service card of the "theme" application 302 to the desktop.

In this process, the interface displayed by the electronic device may sequentially include the following interfaces as in fig. 4:

first kind: (a) - (h) - (l);

second kind: (a) - (k) - (l).

In the embodiment of the application, whether the electronic device prompts the user to add the service card or automatically adds the service card in the process of adding the service card can be realized by setting a mode of adding the service card.

Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of an adding manner of setting a service card according to an embodiment of the present application. In one example, setting the manner in which the service card is added may be done on a settings page of the application marketplace, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), which is a schematic diagram of the application marketplace details page interface 31, and the user may click on the "My" control 310 in the interface 31 to enter the "My" interface 60, including multiple operational options in the interface 60, such as "My Account details", "My application", "My appointment", and "settings", among others. The user can enter the settings page of the application marketplace by clicking the "settings" button 601. It should be understood that the interface 60 shown in fig. 6 (b) is merely an example, and in different electronic devices, the operational options included in the interface shown in the interface 60 may be different, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

In one example, the user may click on the "set" button 601 in the interface 60 to enter the interface 61 as shown in (c) of FIG. 6. The interface 61 of the electronic device includes a setting item 611 for "adding a service card", and the user can set a specific service card adding manner through the setting item 611. The interface for setting the adding manner of the service card may include three options, namely, an "intelligent add" option 621, an "prompt add" option 622, and an "off" option 623 in the interface 62 shown in (d) of fig. 6, as shown in (d) of fig. 6. For each option, the electronic device can specifically introduce the option through characters at the corresponding position of the option. Illustratively, the "close" option 623 indicates that "after the application is installed and updated, no more card is prompted to add to the desktop," i.e., after the "close" option 623 is selected, the electronic device will only install and update the application, neither automatically add service cards to the application, nor prompt the user to add service cards in the manner shown in FIG. 4 or FIG. 5. The "prompt add" option 622 indicates "add card to desktop after application installation and update," i.e., after application installation or update is completed after the "prompt add" option 622 is selected, the electronic device may prompt the user to add a service card in the manner shown in fig. 4 or 5. Fig. 6 (d) and (h) show schematic diagrams of interface 62 after selection of "off" option 623 and selection of "prompt add" option 622, respectively. As shown in fig. 6 (e), which is a schematic diagram of the interface 62 after selecting the "smart add" option 621, the "smart add" option 621 indicates "smart add premium service card to desktop after installing and updating the application", i.e., after selecting the "smart add" option 621, the electronic device will automatically add the service card to desktop without prompting the user in the manner shown in fig. 4 or 5.

In one example, shown in FIG. 6 (f), is a schematic diagram of an interface of an electronic device when the "theme" application 302 is installed after the "Smart Add" mode is selected. The interface shown in fig. 6 (f) is an application market details page interface, that is, the interface 31 shown in fig. 3 (b) or the interface 31 shown in fig. 4 (a). When the user clicks on control 3021 in interface 31 and installs "theme" application 302, the electronic device may prompt the user through a modeless popup (task) 602 that the service card of the currently installed application is to be added to the desktop. For example, the electronic device may display text such as "after installation, you can view" theme "service cards" on the desktop for prompting the user in the modeless popup window 602. A desktop schematic of the electronic device after installing the "theme" application 302 and the service card may be shown in fig. 4 (l).

In another example, shown in FIG. 6 (g), is a schematic diagram of another interface of the electronic device when the "theme" application 302 is installed after the "Smart Add" mode is selected. The interface shown in fig. 6 (g) is the details page interface of the application marketplace "theme" application 302, which is interface 32 shown in fig. 3 (c). When the user clicks on control 3022 in interface 32 and installs the "theme" application 302, the electronic device may prompt the user through a modeless popup 603 that the service card of the currently installed application is to be added to the desktop. For example, the electronic device may display text such as "after installation, you can view" theme "service cards" on the desktop for prompting the user in the modeless popup window 602. A desktop schematic of the electronic device after installing the "theme" application 302 and the service card may be shown in fig. 4 (l).

In the embodiment of the application, after the electronic device adds the service card of a certain application to the desktop, the service card can be distributed to other electronic devices through multi-terminal distribution.

Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of multi-end distribution of service cards according to an embodiment of the present application. In fig. 7, a first electronic device 701 and a second electronic device 702 are included, where the first electronic device 701 may be an electronic device in the foregoing embodiments, the second electronic device 702 may be the same type of electronic device as the first electronic device 701, and the second electronic device 702 may also be a different type of electronic device from the first electronic device 701. Illustratively, the first electronic device 701 may be a mobile phone, and the second electronic device 702 may also be a mobile phone; alternatively, the first electronic device 701 is a cell phone and the second electronic device 702 may be a tablet computer or other wearable device such as a smart watch.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 7, the first electronic device 701 may add a service card of the "theme" application to the desktop in the manner described in the foregoing embodiments. For example, in FIG. 7, the desktop of the first electronic device 701 includes the "theme" application 302 and its service card 302'. The first electronic device 701 may distribute the service card 302' to a desktop of a second electronic device 702 in communication with the first electronic device 701. For example, in fig. 7, the desktop of the second electronic device 702 includes a service card 302 "of the" theme "application 302, which service card 302" is the same as the service card 302' in the first electronic device 701. By distributing the service card to a plurality of other electronic devices, the number of operations at the time of installation of the service card can be reduced, and the efficiency of adding the service card can be improved.

The second electronic device 702 shown in fig. 7 is only one example, and in practical applications, the number of second electronic devices 702 may include a plurality. For example, the second electronic device 702 may include not only a tablet computer as shown in fig. 7, but also an electronic device such as a smart watch, a notebook computer, a smart screen, etc. not shown in fig. 7, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

The foregoing embodiments introduce detailed procedures of how an electronic device applies at the time of installation or update, and adds a service card of the application to a desktop. The process of establishing the association relationship between the application and the service card and the interaction of the user are respectively described below from the angles of the developer and the user with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 8 is a schematic diagram illustrating an association relationship between an application and a service card according to an embodiment of the present application. According to the flow illustrated in FIG. 8, an application developer may first develop an application and submit the application to a developer platform requesting the developer platform to mount the application. After receiving the application submitted by the developer, the developer platform can audit and test the application. Illustratively, the developer platform may conduct compatibility testing on the application, auditing whether the application meets the corresponding platform specifications. If the application passes the audit, the developer platform can put the application on the application market. For the application, an application developer may apply to develop an associated service card for the application. When an application developer applies for developing a service card, the application under the developer's name should be selected. For application developers' applications, the developer platform may generate configuration files carrying the associated information. After the application developer submits the service card, the developer platform can verify the configuration file of the service card, such as verifying whether the association relationship between the service card submitted by the developer and the application requested by the developer is established.
